Well-drilling in Burkina Faso
In November, we will be drilling 6 wells, and repairing 5 other pumps in remote and dry areas in the sahel area of northern Burkina Faso.
Teams will be coming out from Glenwood Church and from Hatteras Island Christian Fellowship to join us as we work with Friends in Action to provide water to these areas. We will be working in Gorom-Gorom (on the grounds of the school we are building), Deou, Lila, Tasmakat, Coffalboy, and Cekol Koba.
Here is a short video of the work of Friends in Action in Burkina:
Please pray as we prepare for this work. Thank you.
We have so far raised about £16,000, but we estimate we need about another £7,000. If you want to support this work, please send money to:

Nice one, Cyrille
I have just discovered that Cyrille Regis, the West Brom hero from the 1970's and 80's, was awarded an MBE last month.
Cyrille was always one of my footballing heroes. Here you can see Cyrille in action scoring against Norwich in 1982.
Together with Laurie Cunningham and Brendan Batson, he was part of the "Three Degrees" - three quality black footballers in the Albion team who, against considerable prejudice paved the way for black footballers in the English league. To see the Three Degrees in action in possibly the best football match ever... click here
Cyrille became a Christian in 1996, following the death of his close friend Cunningham in a car crash in 1989. He has been awarded the MBE for his services to the voluntary sector and football.
Nice one, Cyrille.

Kids Camp Video
Here is a short 4 minute video with clips of the Kids Camp run in Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso in August. It was run jointly by the churches of Gorom-Gorom, and by Glenwood Church.
This clip is not brilliant quality and it misses so much, but I hope it gives you an idea of the fun we had.
We had planned for about 100 children, and ended up with over 200 - about half from Christian homes, and half from Muslim families. It was excellent! The local Christians and pastors did a great job leading the camp, brilliantly supported by Pete, Maggie, Haoua, and Trudi. And God, of course.
As well as having teaching about Jesus, games, singing, football, and craft work, we also planted trees on the grounds of the new primary school that we are hoping to build. It was a great time.
I'm already looking forward to the next one!
